Results of fiber-optic gyro testing

The paper presents the information on specific design, accuracy characteristics, and results of testing of a prototype fiber-optic gyro of accuracy grade 0.01 °/h, with sensing element spool diameter of 150 mm, designed by Concern RCSI Elektropribor, JSC. The device is compared to a number of sensors of similar accuracy grade, designed by various Russian and international companies.
